My Latest Case Mod Project : "The Rustbucket"

I saw BoCo's Case posted here so i thought id post my latest project, keep in mind that its not finished yet

My inspiration for this case was the Fallout series of games if any of you have played them


Heres how she started , painted the chassis


Heres my first test of the Faux Effects Rust Paint im going for in the style


And of course the All Important Leaktest before i install my water cooling sytem


As you see here i redid the front face with epoxy to allow my to put in some of the dials i want in the front (who needs a floopy ) that a rough edge before i sanded it up. '

And now the final product




Ok now a little explnation on the front All of the dials you see are scalvaged from a B-17 bomber. The large one is a Tachometer that i am working to mesure the CPU utilization (sill working some bugs outa that one, more details later)

The Top left, is a low Oxygen Blinker that im using with a ultrabright red LED to single HDD activity.

Above the dials are several switches, controling the lights and power

More pics


I used Fence hinges to give me a sucide case door, and a Trapdoor pull ring to open






I know it may not be everyones style , but shes my baby
